Simple shortbread cookie

Simple shortbread cookies are one of those dishes with which your child can start their journey into the world of great cooking. However, for the first time, it is better for mom to be around and explain some moments that are not obvious to the young pastry chef. For example, butter and dough eggs (yolks) should be at the same temperature, so they should be removed from the refrigerator at the same time. Tell the little cook that it is better to sift the flour through a fine sieve before use. That salt is added even to sweet dough: it makes the taste of baked goods more expressive. Finally, it is better not to leave the kitchen for a long time while the cookies are being prepared, otherwise there is a risk that it will burn. And, of course, cook with your child, clearly showing all the tricks. Then serve simple shortbread cookies and taste with the whole family. Rest assured, everyone will love it!
